Today at school I got in trouble for speaking Spanish. There was 2 minutes until we were dismissed so I wasn’t disrupting anyone because they give us that time to just talk. My primetime (homeroom) teacher told me to not speak Spanish because he thought I was talking bad about him when in reality I was mentioning ideas for my quinceanera to my friend. My teacher and I had a good relationship before that, but I lost all respect for him. I got pissed and I showed it and he talked to me after class about how I’m not allowed to speak Spanish. He even made me talk to the school counselor. I am currently a student ambassador and he told me that if I didn’t start behaving I would lose my position. I started crying because I was just so damn frustrated. I have gall bladder issues so I’m not suppose to get mad like that. I felt like I was about to faint all because of a racist teacher. I told my mom EVERYTHING when I got home and now she’s going to talk to the principal. It’s amazing how far teachers can go to try to make us Hispanics feel like shit.

you know what, though?

I hope that teacher ends up w/99 problems & a job ain’t one.

See, this is the kind of shit that makes me want to leave school systems alone to rot.

Yep. Anytime I hear someone badmouthing home schooling for stupid reasons I point out shit like this. Just one of thousands of good reasons to get your kid out of public schools.
